How to Add a Splash of Color to Any and All Rooms ...

Add your color subtly, especially if you don't want to go overboard or draw the eye to one particular place. A few picture frames, colorful flow pillows, and a single bold neutral – in this case, the rug – are all you need.

A functional table in a fun color is a fabulous way to add some brightness to your neutral room. It adds a lovely freshness in small spaces, too.

I say that as someone with a 4:1 ratio of throw pillows to seats. Heather and I have a problem with pillowcases. By the way, you can buy affordable but adorable cases to cover your current pillows.

Oooh, that's a lovely color, too.

These are so retro! I kind of want them, but in orange.

This is a huge statement, though. You don't necessarily need a big yellow couch – unless that's your thing.

This can be done well, even if you choose bold patterns, you just have to be careful.

This is the cutest kitchen table!

A patchwork rug? Yes, please!

See how the flowers match the pink in the pillows? And again, a bold neutral pattern never hurts.

I have a thing for turquoise and I love the addition of pink here! I might have to copy this somewhere in the house.

The book, the pillow, that pretty wreath – perfection!

It's not all about turquoise, lime green, and hot pink. A pretty peach mixed with copper looks just lovely.

There's something kind of lush and decadent about this couch, though.

Painstaking, but worth it.

A night table or knickknack can add some dazzle without overwhelming your sanctuary.

Of all kinds.
